There has been no known injury or time when he could have injured himself. He does fall easily and appear to just collapse. This has been going on for years but the limp is new, like the last few days. Its got worse today to the point that school were very concerned. They nearly called but realised that once he gets moving he gets a bit better. We and they have noticed that if he's been sat in the same position for just 10mins he can barely walk afterwards. It looks like the problem is in his hips.
He has been complaining of knee pain on and off for about a month now. Considering he never complains of pain it must be pretty bad but then until the weekend its never been accompanied by limping or anything else to be concerned about. So we thought growing pains. But now we're not sure.
He's waiting for a full sensory assessment and dyspraxia assessment. Its been established so far that he doesn't respond to pain properly and that there are motor issues. Could this all be part of that? Or is this seperate? It seems odd that theres been no known instance when he could have injured himself.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
